Vintage Brass Folding Trivet

1920s-1930s;

Creative and ingenious folding brass trivet. A trivet is a heat-resistant stand or mat, typically placed under hot pots, pans, or dishes to protect surfaces from heat damage. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, trivets were closely related to sad and flat irons, although this one seems more suited for pots, pans, and other hot containers with a flat bottom. The trivet has small feet that raise the plate surface off the table. There is no maker's mark, and the item shows signs of wear and age, but is still in excellent condition and functions as intended. Please refer to photos for condition and details.

This trivet measures 6" x 6" when unfolded.
